4/5
Equally confronting [as the original series], this prequel series dials back the clock to 1977, following Camorra's future godfather Pietro as a teenager rising the ranks. Go to Full Review Jack Seale Guardian Aug 4, 2026
4/5
Its youthful main characters lend it a freshness and tenderness that standard crime sagas lack. Dust off your wildest vintage fabrics and hit the streets. Go to Full Review Rebecca Nicholson Financial Times Aug 4, 2026
4/5
There are moments of cliché: in one scene, Pietro tilts his head towards the rain, Shawshank Redemption-style. But in its better moments, the show is playful and atmospheric. Go to Full Review Alison Rowat The Herald (Scotland) Aug 13, 2026
Origins invites the viewer to speculate on whether it is nature or (lack of) nurture that makes Savastano turn out the way he does. Mostly, though, the first episodes are about drawing you into his world, which they do fantastically well. Go to Full Review James Delingpole The Spectator Aug 6, 2026
